Abstract

This study has reviewed and assessed the need to revise the new source performance standards (NSPS) for coal preparation plants. These standards limited particulate emissions or opacities from pneumatic coal cleaning equipment, coal dryers, coal processing and conveying, coal storage, and coal transfer and loading. Control device performances have not changed enough to justify changing the particulate standards. Emissions of SO2 are too small to justify setting standards for this pollutant. EPA plans to investigate coal storage piles and unloading stations as unregulated sources of potential particulate fugitive emissions.
